Drivers, detection and impacts of rain-on-snow events on Banks Island, Canadian Arctic Archipelago: insights from remote sensing and Inuit Knowledge
Current warming trends in polar regions have increased the frequency of rain-on-snow (ROS), which impacts snow microstructure and leads to the formation of ice crusts. We draw on Inuit Knowledge (IQ), alongside passive microwave satellite imagery and local measurements, to investigate both the drivers and the consequen...
